  2025 WYOMING FALL TOP 20 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGSAugust 24, 2025

  In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and in 2021, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states two years ago.

  We went to all 50 states in winter of 2023 and now we add our friends from the North in Canada on top of dividing Texas into two regions, similar to what we did with California. No one has ever done that before…until now!

  This is still a one-man operation for the most part, but we have some help with some partners on Instagram like good friends at OC Student Sections and Stadium Geeks with help from Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.

  This year we plan to get several “barstool” pages that showcase Student Sections in their states. Some of those pages were very helpful last year as we get more accurate with our rankings.

  I know that Student Sections have a lot of work to do to get the students to the games to cheer on their classmates and go along with the theme and make sure they don’t cause trouble. These student sections deserve recognition.

  This past season, we several more Student Sections, including some big powerhouse ones that not only will be a top dawg in their state, but will be a big player in the National side!

  We will kick off the Student Section season with Preseason Football Student Section Rankings. REMEMBER, this is a PREVIEW. It is merely a prediction. The real rankings come out in November or December. 

  If you feel your student section isn’t ranked high enough or not ranked at all, let us know and we’ll keep a close eye on them.

  Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion. 

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Wyoming.

  You’d think a state that doesn’t have many high schools in it wouldn’t have some solid Student Sections, but you’d be wrong. We had even more Student Sections that we discovered this past year. This state can compete with some of the top states in the Student Section scene.

  Last Football season, we had the Thunder Basin as the top Football Student Section in Wyoming. Thunder Basin improved their Instagram game last year and it worked! They showed off their Student Section on social media and if they want to repeat, they’ll need to do that and much more as a couple of the top Student Section will look to battle for the top spot.

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for Wyoming, it’s Riverton. Riverton moved up big last year and they have a Student Section that can move up a few more spots if they promote their Student Section on Instagram and show off their school spirit, they’ll move up and hopefully take the top spot in 2025.

  Will the Cougar Crazies become the new powerhouse Student Section or will the Crusader Crazies take over more than just The Garden State? Let’s find out.

  2025 WYOMING FALL TOP 20 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Natrona County Stampede (2024 Rank: 2)

  This was the first Student Section we discovered and they haven’t disappointed us. They’ve been one of the top dawgs in the state when it comes to promoting their Student Section on Instagram. They took half a step back last year, but I expect them to make a come back and take back the top spot in 2025.

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Montana.

  Montana was one of the most improved state when it came to Student Sections. This state is a lot deeper with solid Student Sections, but we still have two powerhouses battling for the top spot. The other big ones aren’t far off though.

  Last Football season, we had the Hamilton as the top Football Student Section in Montana. Hamilton has always been consistent in showing off their Student Section on Instagram. In fact, they do better than anyone in the state…well almost anyone else in the state. They’ll have to prove that they’re still the ones that control the Student Section scene in the Fall in Montana.

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for Montana, it’s the East Helena. As I mentioned, there’s two powerhouse Student Sections in this state, but some of the other Student Sections are not far behind. If East Helena shows off their Student Section as much as Hamilton or Gallatin, then they could battle for the top spot. They could battle with the Student Section they have.

  Will East Helena crash the party or will Hamilton continue its reign of power in The Mountain State? Let’s find out.

  2025 MONTANA FALL TOP 20 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Gallatin (2024 Rank: 2)

  We found Gallatin last season and to us, it was a pretty nice treasure. They promote themselves a lot more in the Winter and will have to show off their Student Section the same way they did in the Winter in order to finish on top of the Fall Rankings. This definitely looks like a fun Student Section and I’m sure they’re up to the challenge for the top spot once again!

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of South Dakota.

  This was a state that was tough to figure out, but we found some Student Sections here and filling out the rankings here isn’t much of an issue, but we hope to discover more Student Sections in 2025!

  Last Football season, we had the Harrisburg Jungle as the top Football Student Section in South Dakota. Harrisburg has a photographer in Joe Klemme that makes sure he has every action shot, including the Jungle and you can’t blame them as this was a fun Student Section based off the photos. I can expect the same photos in 2025!

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for South Dakota, it’s the Pierre TF Riggs. Probably one of the first Student Sections I discovered when we attempted to cover Student Sections in 2020 (something put a pause to that…), but we never really saw a photo or video of their Student Section, but we finally saw what a great Student Section they are and we hope we see even more on Instagram.

  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCpZi7hSHB_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

  Will Pierre TF Riggs keep showing up in the top of the rankings or will the Jungle stay at the top in The Mount Rushmore State? Let’s find out.

  2025 SOUTH DAKOTA FALL TOP 20 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Dakota Valley Pit Crew (2024 Rank: 3)

  The Pit Crew has been pretty consistent on social media and have had some fun themes and I expect nothing different. If they want to return to the top, they’ll have to show off their Student Section on Instagram some more. Pit Crew will always be near the top of the rankings and hopefully by seasons end, they’ll be at the top.

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Colorado.

  This is a state that has some solid Student Sections that can be savages, but the last three years, our top Student Sections has been the same school. Will someone take them down or will it be a four-peat in 2025? I have a feeling the four-peat will be avoided, but I thought the same thing last year with the threepeat. We’ll find out in November.

  Last Football season, we had the Cherry Creek as the top Football Student Section in Colorado. Cherry Creek took the threepeat, but it was a toss up for the top spot. It will take a lot for Cherry Creek to go four in a row. This is a rowdy and large Student Section that will battle for another top spot in 2025.

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for Colorado, it’s the Legend Coliseum Crazies. The Crazies made a big jump into the Top 5 last year and I don’t expect them to slow down in 2025. This is a Student Section that will be a serious contender for the top spot and can battle for a National Student Section Title! They’re a crazy bunch, hence the name!

  https://www.instagram.com/p/DDPxlClS-fd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

  Will the Coliseum Crazies end the streak or will Cherry Creek continue the streak in The Rocky Mountain State? Let’s find out.

  2025 COLORADO FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Mountain Vista Unit (2024 Rank: 2)

  This Student Section made some noise last year and I expect the Unit to not skip a beat. They can pack the stands and get pretty Rowdy, but they also rock it on social media! I have faith that this is the Student Section that will take over in 2025 and take the top spot in Colorado!

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Utah.

  Utah doesn’t get enough credit when it comes to how deep this state is with super solid Student Sections in the Top 40. The Top 15 or 20 can hang with the best states out there. Crazy and solid Student Sections. One of the best states for school spirit.

  Last Football season, we had Syracuse Curse as the top Football Student Section in Utah. The Curse kept mentioning that they are the top dawgs in the Student Section scene in Utah and they proved it. It had to take a lot of proving in this loaded state and it will take a whole lot more if they want to repeat.

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for Utah, it’s Lone Peak. Lone Peak was not happy with their ranking last year and they have had a solid case. For certain reasons, we are not on TikTok, but Lone Peak Student Section has a solid TikTok and if they can replicate that on Instagram, we can definitely see Lone Peak at the top in 2025 in Utah and possibly the nation!

  

  Will Lone Peak take the challenge in the deep Beehive State or will another powerhouse Student Section take it? Let’s find out.

  2025 UTAH FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Lone Peak Uknighted (2024 Rank: 11)

  I gotta be honest, I think Lone Peak is going to take this pretty easy and that itself isn’t an easy thing to say. As mentioned, Utah is super-duper deep in Student Sections. Several powerhouses in this state, so it is a tough task to take the top spot, but Lone Peak is insane in the stands. The themes, and the energy looked unmatched, and I hope their social media game on Instagram doesn’t disappear nor this kind of energy and if it doesn’t, Lone Peak should aim higher because this has National Fall Student Section Championship written all over it!

  Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion. 

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of North Dakota.

  I’m sure other kids in other states will think, this is probably just a state with low social media numbers, but you would be wrong. North Dakota had some great Student Sections last year and I expect some of the same powerhouses to battle while we discover even more Student Sections in this state in 2025.

  Last Football season, we had the Legacy as the top Football Student Section in North Dakota. Legacy has been consistent when it comes to showing off their school spirit on Instagram and they have been a powerhouse in this state. I don’t expect that to change, but they will be challenged for the top spot. Legacy has the numbers and they will battle to repeat in 2025.

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for North Dakota, it’s Century. They don’t post often, but when they do, it’s impressive. This Student Section can hang with the best of them in the state and I think if we see more of them on Instagram, they may battle for the top spot in the state.

  Will Century take over the one number slot in the state or will Legacy defend their top ranking in The Roughrider State? Let’s find out.

  2025 NORTH DAKOTA FALL TOP 20 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Red River (2024 Rank: 4)

  A couple years ago, Red River rocked the selfie stick to perfection and it got them the top spot. Last year they had the drone for the hockey games (although I think they also had that a couple years ago) and it got them the top spot in the Winter Rankings. What will be under Red River sleeve this Student Section season. This is an entertaining Student Section and I hope they continue to show us how amazing they are in 2025!

  2024-25 SOUTH DAKOTA WINTER STUDENT SECTION TOP 25 RANKINGSJune 10, 2025
  1. Dakota Valley Pit Crew (2024 Rank: 1)

  Safe to say that when it comes to the Winter portion of our rankings for North Dakota that Dakota Valley Pit Crew is a for sure thing for number 1!! This is a three-peat! The Pit Crew stands alone when it comes to promoting their Student Section on social media! They look like they have an amazing energy and now it seems they may also have a tradition to uphold every year. When we began covering North Dakota, these juniors only saw the Pit Crew at number one for the Winter and now they have one more year for the sweep! Let’s give them this though, the Dakota Valley Pit Crew is your 2024-2025 North Dakota Winter Student Section of the Year! BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK!!!

  1. Red River (2024 Rank: 1)

  Red River is always in battle for the top Student Section spot in North Dakota. They have deserve that reputation thanks to their amazing social media game. They love to show off their school spirit on Instagram! They pack the stands and it seems like they’re ready to go during hockey season. This is a state where the very best Student Sections love to show off their school spirit and Red River leads the way in that! I don’t blame them for showing off they fantastic Student Section! Red River is back on top as they’re the 2024-2025 North Dakota Winter Student Section of the Year! Back-to-back! Btw, I kind of miss the selfie stick photos they post, but I’ll take the drone shots!

  This Student Section wanted the top spot in Kansas and it helps to have a basketball with some thrilling buzzer beating finishes, including one that went viral, which in return the Mill Valley Student Section rushed the court. This was the momentum for not only the basketball team, but the Student Section. Mill Valley ends at the top as the 2024-2025 Kansas Winter Student Section of the Year!

  2024 WYOMING FINAL TOP 20 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGSNovember 30, 2024

  The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season. 

  To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is a huge huge understatement.

  We had 10 Student Section of the Week winners in Wyoming and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones wanted it more.

  Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want it and marketing is key. 

  You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what is the point of having that contest?!

  I know Student Sections complain but remember it’s thousands of Student Sections and only me. Social media is your friend if used correctly.

  A Student Section that doesn’t post videos or photos of there Student Section on a consistent basis is like a tree falling with no one around. It doesn’t make any noise.

  This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in Wyoming. We had Star Valley winning it in 2022 and Natrona County Stampede in 2023.

  This was a state where we struggled to find Student Sections, but we found quite a few this fall and we hope we continue that trend.

  We will have 2 Student Sections in Wyoming that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Equality State.

  2024 WYOMING FINAL TOP 20 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Thunder Basin (2023 Rank: 12)

  Showing off your Student Section and your school spirit on Instagram will get you rewarded and whoever ran the Thunder Basin Student Section account, you did this! Thunder Basin has a fantastic Student Section, so it makes sense to so it off on social media. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the 2024 Wyoming Football Student Section of the Year!

  https://www.instagram.com/p/DAhvud6Mxsp/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

  2. Natrona County Stampede (2023 Rank: 1)

  The Stampede is one of the best Student Sections in Wyoming, year in and year out. Despite not posting the Student Section as much as the last couple of years, you just know they can pack the stands. This is one of the states best. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  

  3. Mountain View Stampede (2023 Rank: 13)

  The Stampede got off to a great start this season when it came to showing off their Student Section. It got them a Top 3 finish. I’m surprised they were cold in the stands because from the looks of it, they spit some hot fire.

  

  4. Campbell County (2023 Rank: NR)

  Campbell County packed the stands this fall and it impressed the heck out of me. Definitely Top 5 material!

  This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in South Dakota. We had Dakota Pit Crew winning it in 2022 and O’Gorman in 2023.

  This is a state where we found some more Student Sections this fall. It’s deeper than some of the smaller populated states.

  We will have 3 Student Sections in South Dakota that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Mount Rushmore State.

  1. Harrisburg Jungle (2023 Rank: 4)

  The Jungle has a photographer, Jon Klemme, that made sure to take photos of the Jungle and I can’t blame him. Plus, it is tough to ignore them. This is an electric Student Section.

  2024 NEBRASKA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGSNovember 29, 2024

  The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season. 

  To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is a huge huge understatement.

  We had 11 Student Section of the Week winners in Nebraska and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones wanted it more.

  Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want it and marketing is key. 

  You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what is the point of having that contest?!

  I know Student Sections complain but remember it’s thousands of Student Sections and only me. Social media is your friend if used correctly.

  A Student Section that doesn’t post videos or photos of there Student Section on a consistent basis is like a tree falling with no one around. It doesn’t make any noise.

  This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in Nebraska. We had Millard West Crazies win it in 2022 and 2023.

  Millard West Crazies are looking for a threepeat, but it may be difficult with some solid Student Sections. Nebraska got a bit better in the Student Section scene.

  What is helping us is @omahahssports and @djkdubomaha on Instagram. They love to cover Student Sections and have helped us make Nebraska one of the deeper Student Section states.

  We will have 4 Student Sections in Nebraska that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Cornhusker State.

  2024 NEBRASKA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Westside Redshield (2023 Rank: 2)

  When I spoke with Omaha HS Sports about who they felt was the best Student Section in the state, they mentioned Westside and a couple other Student Sections. The Redshield knows it is not easy to be considered the best in the state with another Student Section being known by many outside of the state, but they did the work in the stands to earn this. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the 2024 Nebraska Football Student Section of the Year!

  2. Millard West Crazies (2023 Rank: 1)

  I wish we can interact with the Crazies. They look like a solid Student Section and they have been for years. They go crazy in the stands. If they can show off more of their Student Section, they would be one of the well-known Student Sections year after year! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon!

  

  3. Skutt Catholic Skyhawk Screamers (2023 Rank: NR)

  From unranked to a Top 5 Student Section ranking. When I tell people it will take a couple of years to perfect the rankings, this is what I mean. You will discover powerhouse Student Sections like these. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon!

  4. Papillon La Vista-South Blackhole (2023 Rank: 5)

  The Blackhole didn’t promote on social media as much as they did in the past, but when we did see them, they were a dynamite Student Section. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon!

  5. Lincoln Northwest Nest (2023 Rank: 6)

  The Nest can pack the stands better than most of the Student Sections you’ll see in Nebraska. The Neon Theme has to be my favorite.
